Robert Bonner. who for years has
C ,nducted the lew York Ledger, one
OF the most popular and widely c;rcu-
Ia ted weekly papers in the United
States. has retired from the active
duties OF Journalism aud placed the
Ledger III the hands of his three sons.
In upon the retirement of Mr
Bonner the NV York Star makes the
GLOWING complimentary REMARKS:
Few men OF his age can look back
on II journalistic :ife OF forty years with
less regret. While no pubIicist has
contributed more to the entertainment
of the American people, his pnpe has
giv-n no less instruction than amuse-
nent, and the most famous public
teHchrrs OF our time have been constant
contributors to its pages. Mr.. Bou.
uer'S weekly has been euiinen,ly sue
cessful III its aim to be a family news
paper. While its pages have been
largely occupied with tales OF romance
and adventure. nothing meretriciuus
was ever allowed upon them. and nC
IL can trace degradation or mora

jefferson and Third Termism.

1t is conceded that Thomas Jefferson
is the father and founder of the Dem
ocratic party. Read what he says
about this Third Term idea!
In letter to John Adams of date
November 18th, 1887, he says:
''Their President seems to be bad
edition of Polish King. He may be
elected from four years to four years
for life. Reason and experience prove
to us that chief magistrate, so con-
tinuabie, is an officer for life.
/ wish that at the end of the four
years they had made him ineligible
second time"
Again, in his letter to James Madi-
son of Dec. 80, 1887, speaking of the
Constitution of the United States, he
says:
"The second feature dislike, and
strongly dislike, is the abandonment,
in every instance, of the principle of
rotation in Office, and most particu-
Iarly in the case of the PRESIDENT
Reason and experience tell us that
the first magistrate will always be re-
elected if he may be re elected. He
is then an officer forlife
1t may be said that if elections are to
be attended with these disorders, the
less frequently they are repeated the
better. But experience says that to
free them from disorder they must be
rendered less interesting by neces-
sity of change. No foreign power
nor domestic party will waste their
blood and money to elect person
who must go out at the end of short
period. The power Of removing every
fourth year by the vote of the people
is a power which they will not exer.
else, and if they were disposed to ex-
ercise it, they would not be permit
ted. The king of Poland is remova.
BILE every day by the diet; but they
never remove him."
Now which is the better Democrat,
Thomas Jefferson, who enunciated
such principles as to long contin.
uance of Executive officers in power,
or Samuel D. McEnery, whose 'svault-
ing ambition overleaps ITSELF" and
these fundamental principles of De.
mocracy, makes him ignore and spit
upon Democratic traditions and pre-.
cedents and destroy Democratic par
ty unity and harmony?
The answer should be made in
thunder tones at the Democratic
primaries in every parish in the State.
Whom do ye follow, ye Democrats
OF every shade, Thomas Jefferson OF
Sam McEnery!

and having sown the wind they see
a prospect Of reaping the whirlwind,
their chief organ, the Times Demo
crat, draws the appalling pen picture
We have quoted, and attempts to
freighten people by the CHASTITY and
ghostIy spparitioas conjured in it's
own brain.
IF the Times Democrat is patriotic
and truthful in its utterances, why
does It not propose from its exalted
Journalistic perch some remedy for
these ills of which it writess Why
not attempt to pour oil on the troub-
led political waters and pacify the
warning elements, instead of prating
about "Reform Conspiracy" fall
it says about the INSTRUMENTATION.
lists be true, the Times-Democrat
knows that they are only fighting
the Devil with fire." and that they
were taught how to do it by their
opponents.
But we deny that the so-called Re.
form Democrats have conspired to
disrupt the Democratic party. They
have conspired, however, to save the
party from leaders who provoke strife
in the ranks, to save it from men who
seek the perpetuity of their OWE
power by the sacrifice of party har-
mony, party principles and party
traditions, and pictures of the ''raw
head and bloody bones" characte,
will not frighten brave men, who
have ''the courage of their convic
tions" from the patriotic efforts they
are making.
If the Democratic party in Louis
lama be disrupted, it will be because
the followers of Gov. McEnery re
main as relentless and uncompromis
ing now in their opposition to al
good Democrats as they dare to bt
as they were four years ago-becaust
they love McEnery better than they
do their party and it's harmony, and
prefer third term for him above thu
doctrines and teachings of Jefferson
and the founders and fathers of tn,
party.

and the item or items of appropria-
ton disapproved shall be void, unless
repassed according to the rules and
limitations prescribed for the pas
sage OF other bills over the Executive
veto"
IF he be the Financial Governor
he claims to be, why did he not know
in advance that appropriations would
exceed revenues, and interpose
enough Of his vetoes to enough items
of appropriations to make revenues
equal appropriations, and SO actually
place the State on q cash basis.
This financial condition of the
State exists too while the rate of tax
alton in Louisiana is higher than IN
any other Southern State except
Alabama, in which State the rate is
the same as in Louisiana.

Governor McEnery and State
Finances.


Gov. McEnery boasts of the fnan-
cial condition of Louisiana under his
administration. In q recent speech
by him the following expressions oc-
Cured:
"The finances of this State have
improved; the assessed values have
increased from $155, OOO, 900 to $751;
600, 900; collections of the revenue
have advanced from 484 to 96 per
cent. The interest on the public debt
is promptly paid and the State is
practically on cash basis"
Now along side Of above place the
following extract from his last mes
sage:
81 arranged for the payment of
the interest Con the baby bonds) in
order that the non-payment may not
affect the credit Of the State, but /
soon became aware of the fact that
this would have to be done every
time the interest became due and as
long as the boRds should be in exis-
tence, and I therefore ceased to So
licit any further advance to meet the
interest"
The State is practically ona cash
basis, " forsooth, when the interest on
portion Of its bonded debt is IN
default, and these Baby Bonds are
not even quoted in the commercial
columns of the mss-Demoerat of
date December End, 1887, unless un-
der smother designation than Baby
Bonds. But other bonds and war
rantsof the State are qnoted in thaa
issue Of that paper as follows: Lou
isiana Fours, Gig; Louisiana Threes,
531; Ordinary State Warrants of
1884 IS, of 1885 AZ, of 1855 no Did,.
of 1887 SO cents.
That is to say, while the ordinary
warrants OF the current year are at
eleven per cent. discount, and those
Of prior years worth but little over
half of their face value in the chief
city of the State, our much lauded
Governor declares ''the Stale is prac-
tieally On cash bssis."
Gov MsEnsry should not have
thus boosted, for heis practically"
responsible fes that financial condi-
ton Of the State which does not
place il on . cash basis"
The Constitutioa Of 1S79eontains,
the following provision:

have the power to disspprove of any
item or items Of any bin making ap-
preparations Of money, embracing
distinct items, and the part or parts
